Vandalism suspect drew swastika on Jewish business in NE Portland, police say

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – Police are searching for a man they believe targeted a Jewish business in Northeast Portland in mid-June.

The vandalism suspect is reported to have visited a business in the area of 2700 NE Broadway St. on June 14. An employee told police he approached the entrance, muttered profanities, and drew a swastika on the door frame before walking away.

“The employee at the business believes this was a deliberate, targeted act as the business is known to integrate Jewish beliefs and traditions into its practices,” according to police. 

Investigators also found that a menorah placed in the front window of the business last November was stolen, and a Pride flag has been put outside the business.

Officials say this history is “further raising concerns about the suspect’s intent.”
